At the same time as he landed, Luo Yang's sword also withdrew its scabbard.

"Lord Luo, what are you doing, I was only a little bit close to killing this traitor just now!"

Looking at Luo Yang, who was standing between the two, Sima Changyun immediately asked hysterically.

In the face of his angry tone, the former was not moved, and didn't even pay more attention to it except for a glance at him, and turned to look in the opposite direction of Dongfang Shuo.

Seeing Luo Yang's gaze, Dongfang Shuo also stared at him.

Although the other party saved himself, he still didn't know anything about the other party's purpose.

"He said you were a traitor. Luo Yang spoke, "Are you?"

Being asked like this, Dongfang Shuo was of course stunned for a moment.

Not only him, but Sima Changyun, who was standing behind Luoyang, also had a clear pause in his face for a moment.

When this question was asked, the decision was undoubtedly thrown on Dongfang Shuo's body.

"Lord Luo, what are you doing, is it possible that you want to shield this traitor?!"

Sima Changyun opened his mouth to question.

But after all, Luo Yang was standing there, and with his strength, it was impossible to cross the direction of Luo Yang, so needless to mention that the status of the Shang Fang sword in his hand was lower than the sword in Luo Yang's hand.

In the face of his doubts, Luo Yang still ignored it.

The latter's gaze always fell on Dongfang Shuo's body.

After Dongfang Shuo took a deep breath, he said: "I am not a traitor, I am here to protect Your Majesty." Then, he raised his hand, "On the other hand, for a man like me who is loyally imposing obstacles, I don't know what my intentions are." ”

"You!"

Sima Changyun's face suddenly changed.

But at this time, any sentence of self-defense will become a quibble.

So at this moment, Sima Changyun is also a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

"Since you are not a traitor, then come with me, Your Majesty wants to see you. ”

Luo Yang said.

When his voice fell, Dongfang Shuo's face sank, and before leaving, he asked again: "Your Majesty only saw me alone?"

"Yes, I only saw you. ”

Luo Yang nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Dongfang Shuo's heart became more solemn.

Although Ji Zhaoning said that the emperor may have known that Dongfang Shuo was going to kill him early on, this was only a 'possibility' after all. As far as Ji Zhaoning's words are concerned, the relationship between the two is between the elders and the juniors, but as far as Dongfang Shuo knows, it seems that the elders and juniors have not met for many years.

There is still a difference between Shibei and Sanqiu, let alone the emperor who has been absent for many years.

If Ji Zhaoning guessed wrong, wouldn't Dongfang Shuo throw himself into the net?

But the matter has come to this point, if you take a step back, it will be a punishment for your heart, even if the emperor is really determined to be killed, I am afraid that he will not be able to save Dongfang Shuo's charge of rebellion.

"Okay, I'll let you go. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Dongfang Shuo finally made a decision.

As soon as the words fell, he set off.

The bureaucrats behind him looked at each other, and none of them said more than half a word.

And Sima Changyun, who was on the stairs in front of the main hall, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes.

But even so, he could only watch and watch Dongfang Shuo follow behind Luo Yang until he walked towards the main hall, and finally passed by him and walked into the palace.

During the whole process, he didn't have the slightest chance to do it, because Luo Yang's attention was always on him.

In other words, Luo Yang has been on guard against Dongfang Shuo's moves.

It wasn't until the two of them entered the palace that the door of the palace was closed by the two eunuchs.

Looking at the closed door of the palace, Sima Changyun's face suddenly had mixed feelings.

But in the end, he turned around and walked down the stairs.

However, he still walked to the end of the stairs, and on the palace road leading to here in the direction of the palace gate in the distance, three or two men in brocade robes came, all of whom were thirty or forty years old.

When they ran to the side of the hundred officials, they slowed down, and after the person in front of them swept his gaze coldly over the bureaucrats, he set off again and walked briskly towards Sima Changyun, who was walking towards him.

The two were close to each other, and the middle-aged man who hurriedly brought someone over suddenly showed excitement on his face and was about to speak.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a loud slap fell on the middle-aged man's face, and it was Sima Changyun who hit him.

"You rebel, who let you lead someone to break into the palace gate, you don't want to live?!"

Sima Changyun scolded.

In this voice, he was full of anger, and naturally because he had eaten all his grievances on Dongfang Shuo's side, and there was nowhere to vent.

The son of Sima Changyun, who was slapped in the face, Sima Xianghe didn't care at all, but immediately stood still and looked at his father's appearance, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he turned his hand and took out a jade order and displayed it in front of Sima Changyun.

"Father, this is a pardon order given by His Majesty when the child fought on the battlefield, and the child has not been willing to use it, and His Majesty will definitely not blame him for breaking into the palace this time. ”

Sima Xianghe said.

Sima Changyun frowned when he heard this, and finally stopped talking.

Then, the latter sighed: "You erector, why did you come to the palace gate and waste a pardon in vain?"

Sima Xianghe looked at him and said: "The child heard that Dongfang Shuona led people to surround the palace gate, and heard the roar in the palace, he was very anxious, thinking that his father was in trouble, so he brought someone to break into the palace gate. ”

His words finally made Sima Changyun angry.

After a long sigh, he looked back at the temple.

"Together, we're defeated. ”

He said.

Sima Xianghe was puzzled: "Father, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't know. But Sima Changyun shook his head, "But I have a hunch that the Sima family is about to come to a catastrophe." ”

"We are dedicated to the country, even if there is a slight flaw, we have no second heart for the royal family, and my father's life of auxiliary country has made the empire stronger and stronger, so the credit cannot be ignored. What's more, the Sima family now has a big business, how can a Dongfang Shuo bring disaster to us?"

Sima Changyun listened to his words, but suddenly laughed.

After laughing, he raised his hand and patted Sima Xianghe's shoulder, and said: "The great cause of the family and the country is not about the merit, but about the value." Go home. ”

As soon as the words fell, he passed by his son.

Sima Xianghe looked back at Sima Changyun's staggering figure, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"The Sima family has worked hard for generations to contribute to the empire, so it should not have this kind of ending. Suddenly, Sima Xianghe gritted his teeth, and then said to the person who approached, "Father wants to go back, I don't want to go back, I want to see Your Majesty." You will stay if you want, and you will go if you want, and I will not force it. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned to face the palace gate.

So, he bent down and knelt, and he wanted to kneel until the emperor saw him.
